2008 Iveco Daily 2.3L Diesel · MX08 HTU

The vehicle shows a history of structural corrosion and recurring mechanical wear that requires close attention. While the Daily passed its most recent test in April 2026 at 168,587 miles, the tester identified corrosion on the nearside front chassis near a mounting. Although not currently graded as seriously affecting security, this follows a long-term trend of structural degradation dating back to significant structural strength failures in 2020. The front and central propeller shaft joints are showing signs of wear, and the nearside front upper suspension arm bush remains a noted issue from 2025. The mileage profile is consistent with an eighteen-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. However, there is a notable gap in records between 2020 and 2022, during which the vehicle covered over 5,000 miles. The failure in April 2024 at 148,308 miles was particularly concerning, revealing high emissions, a leaking fuel pump, and an inoperative engine management light. While these issues were addressed to secure a pass, the recurring nature of fuel leaks and engine sensor faults suggests that maintenance is often reactive rather than preventative. Consumable items are frequently reaching their limits before inspection. The 2026 test flagged multiple tyres with perishing, cracking, and cuts, along with a deteriorated registration plate and a loose mirror. This indicates the vehicle may have sat for extended periods or been neglected regarding minor upkeep. A buyer should specifically inspect the nearside front chassis and subframe areas for deepening rust, as the record shows these areas have consistently failed or warned over the years. The steering rack and brake system should also be checked for leaks and corrosion, given previous reports of oil mist and corroded brake pipes.
